This game looks pretty impressive, Vinny QL when? http://store.steampowered.com/app/234270/Ken_Folletts_The_Pillars_of_the_Earth/
Would be better with anime aesthetics.
That's my target after Observer, I just hope Daedalic have upped their game since the Deponia trilogy. Seems like this is their take on a Telltale style adventure game.

I like Pillars of Earth but this just killed all my interest in the game. (if that's what they are going for)
In fairness to them, they're calling it an "Interactive Novel", not a traditional adventure game. There are timed dialogue choices and, well, this:
But so far the handful of reviews are really good.

I get it. You have to earn the right to shit on a thing. I once watched Twilight to confirm that it is, indeed, terrible. Nowadays I don't really go for that sort of thing anymore though

I bought Sonic for the Switch. I think the game is alright/pretty good
I'm also really glad the "How am I supposed to play Sonic" thread from a while back exists so I don't feel like an idiot.

I love Sonic Mania but it's definitely not going to win anybody over that wasn't into the 16-bit games in the first place.
It's the second best Sonic game behind 3&K for me.

Sonic fans in that thread are playing a mind-boggling game of revisionist history. "Sonic was never about going fast, that was just marketing." Then how do you explain Chemical Plant zone where practically 90% of the level is a pinball machine that you fly through at high speed?
If people are running full speed through Chemical Plant Zone for 90%, it's no wonder it's so despised. You wanna go slower and take the high road so you get less of the moving platforms before the underwater section.
It's the worst zone in Sonic 2 anyway. Shame such good music was wasted there.

The thing is they're all right, but they're also all wrong. Because Sonic games themselves never really figured out what, exactly, the design goal of the games was. It was a bit of everything. "Going fast" is the only mechanical identity those games had, but it wasn't the core focus of all the level designs. I swear I saw a video about this a while ago. It's probably either Errant Signal's or Super Bunnyhop's
I've always felt that getting fast through a level was a reward for getting good, bar certain areas. I take most of the levels slow and explore the best routes ready for a replay.
I think this is a good way to put it.
It really feels like they never quite nailed down what they wanted Sonic to actually be and I think the games suffered heavily for it.

My problem is.....I don't really want to replay levels just to get faster times?
Also, having only played the Green Hill zone levels......everything looks the same. I would need to replay this level 30 times to remember a "fast path" and for what? There are better games about going through a level fast *cough* Dustforce *cough*
I actually like playing the game but I doubt I'll stick with it to "get good" at it.

Which is fine, you just treat it like any other 2D platformer.

I mean, that's how I play sonic games and I still like them. I just run through the levels, maybe explore a bit, and finish them without remembering where secrets and shit are. It's a perfectly valid way to play and enjoy those games.
It was 10 Euros, I'm curious, Jeff likes it.
I don't mind the 10 Euros and will continue playing it. I just needed to know man. I just needed to know.

If Destiny 2 is actually good then I won't mind it
The thing that irked me about Destiny talk originally was how much defense that game got in light of it being a mediocre (at best) product
I've played my fair share of Generations thank you. And some Sonic game on some Sega console when I was in vacation as a kid.

Mania's CPZ is like that but 2's? Ehhhhh.
excited to finally play it when the PC open beta hits later this month
I doubt i'll get it if none of my friends are picking it up though
Even tho I was a hardcore Destiny player for a time, I have to agree. But there was a loop that was hard to not like. I guess you can say my addiction with Destiny is akin to some Gaffers' obsession with PUBG here right now.
My skill level at these games would make a streak of fast dashes through a Sonic level an accident that could happen sometimes, so i also just liked exploring the levels. But i am also a sucker for unlocks and Sonic Mania has plenty cool ones from what i hear. My budget will only allow for Yakuza Kiwami this month but i will most likley get this game just for the love that was put into this game. I am looking forward what that new team is gonna be able to do when they can realize even more original ideas.
As the self-proclaimed number one Destiny fan in the world (I agree, it was a bad game for over half of it's life), yes. I very much am.

I looked at that Sonic thread, and I've noticed something about Sonic fans: they're not great
I mean it's not a what if at all, it actually happened and needed to happen.
Hah, true.
Isn't that fans of most things though?
I'm what one would call an anime "fan" and anime fans are obnoxious and terrible.
Same with Nintendo.

I dunno what there is to really be confused about in the Genesis Sonic games, the marketing is about going fast and no matter what you are going to do that -- it's just not some racing game where that's the entirety of it. You're still playing a platformer, so you have your fits and stops. Whoaaaa I'm spinnin' around a loop, now I've stopped and have to go across this bit of water on this moving platform. Holymotherfuckinshit goin' down this hill so fasttt... and now I've gotta use a counter-weight on this see-saw to propel myself up a thing.
People seem to be have confused the fact that Sonic has a speed element to it in its level and control design with Sonic being a game equivalent of a Hot Wheels track where you just watch him zoom through to the finish.
